Plug & Play Set
Auto Clock Set/Auto Tuner Set
ATTENTION:
●If you use a cable box, Plug&Play will not function; set the clock and tuner channels separately. ( pg. 16 – 19)
●Depending on areas or reception conditions, the VCR may not receive the Auto clock setting data from the PBS channel. If this function is taking a considerable amount of time, it may be necessary to perform the Semiauto or Manual Clock Set procedure.
This VCR sets the clock and tuner channels automatically when AC power cord is first connected to an AC outlet. The antenna cable must be connected for the Plug & Play setting.
The time and date can be set automatically by the clock setting data transmitted from one of the regular TV broadcast channels. We call this TV channel the “host channel” and it is a PBS channel in your area.
A Perform Plug & Play setup.
Connect the antenna cable to the VCR ( pg. 12). Then connect the AC power cord to an AC outlet. Do not turn on the VCR.
The clock and tuner channels will be set automatically.

NOTES:
●Auto Clock Set is performed first.
“Auto” blinks on the front display panel during Auto Clock Set.
●Auto Channel Set is performed next. Auto Channel Set scans all the channels that are receivable by your VCR. During Auto Channel Set, the channel numbers are displayed as they are scanned and set.
●When Plug & Play setting has been complete successfully, the correct clock time is displayed. If you perform Plug & Play
setting successfully, there is no need to perform “Clock Set”
( pg. 16) and “Tuner Set” ( pg. 18). If, however, you want
to add or delete channels, refer to “Manual Channel Set” ( pg. 19).

INFORMATION
●If “AUTO CLOCK” is set to “ON” ( pg. 17), the clock will be adjusted automatically by the host channel every hour (except 11:00 PM, midnight, 1:00 AM and 2:00 AM) using the incoming PBS channel clock setting data. (This automatic clock
adjustment can only be performed when the VCR is turned off. The clock will be adjusted just on these hours — on the time displayed on the front display panel, not on the actual real time.) The default setting of “AUTO CLOCK” is “ON”. ( pg. 17)
●If the memory backup fails, because a power outage occurs or because the AC power cord is unplugged, Plug & Play will be performed when power is restored to the VCR.
What to do if Plug & Play setting failed
●If an incorrect time is displayed on the front display panel, you may be receiving the clock setting data of a PBS channel from an adjacent time zone, or an incorrect PBS channel from a cable TV system. In this case, perform “Semiauto Clock Set” ( pg. 17) or “Manual Clock Set” ( pg. 17).
●If “–
Play setting will be automatically reactivated. If Plug & Play setting is not performed though the antenna cable is connected correctly, perform “Manual Clock Set” ( pg. 17) and “Auto Channel Set” ( pg. 18) or “Manual Channel Set” ( pg. 19).
